(53.67). Senior Brad White (Traverse City) was also a double-winner, claiming
victories in the 200 freestyle (1:46.42) and 100 backstroke (54.95). Other
individual winners for the Calvin men included sophomore Luke Bagnall
(Marshalltown, IA) in the 400 IM (4:27.38), freshman Peter Tuuk (Grand Rapids

In the women's meet, Calvin came up with two pool records and one school

record in winning the 50 freestyle (24.53) and a school record in winning the
500 freestyle with an NCAA III conditional qualifying time of 5:10.67, breaking
her own school mark in the event by more than three seconds.

events, winning with respective scores of 219.40 and 246.35. Her performance
on the three-meter board was an NCAA III qualifying performance.
